located on east 47th street between 1st & 2nd avenues, the park was named in 1961 after dag hammarskjold, the second secretary general of the united nations. dag hammarskjold was awarded the nobel prize for peace in 1961, after his death.

currently on display at the park, you can view the art work below. this art comes with audio – whale voices. it’s a bit creepy, especially at night. i don’t really get it but if you do, please let me know your thoughts!
